The regular season has come and gone rather quickly. With the game over a week away, maybe it’s time to remember some of the moments that made you go bananas during a match this season.

    Beating Collingwood and Melky sinking Brisbane.

    Generally seeing the development of McVee, JVR, Woewodin and last two weeks Laurie and Turner.

    No stubborn Goody at team selections. Clearly he identified this in the off season from last year because it's evident this year that he isn't afraid to make tough decisions and move players around.

    The torpedo bump. To his credit, Smith shrugged it off

    Melksham's goal was right up there but seeing this kid run out of the G and receiving his last wish was special:

    Great thread, DZ!

    Mine is an off-field moment…. that Thursday night when we learned that the two-match suspension given to JvR had been successfully overturned. 🥳

    5. The train ride home after the Brisbane win. 

    4. The last half of the Brisbane game…you could feel us coming 

    3. Fritsch’s return against the Swans

    2. Melksham’s block of games….tragedy for him doing his ACL. He’ll be in rehab when we’re playing finals….simply unfair.

    1. Beating Collingwood when apparently it couldn’t be done

    eq. 1. Viney’s goal against Brisbane, GOTY for mine.

    The Petty/JVR/Melk combination netting 14 goals against the Tigers was top shelf.

    BEST H&A MOMENT OF THE AFL…

    Oh, wait, I thought you meant BT’s best H&A moment… EVER.

    Only got to two games this year - beating Sydney at the SCG - and seeing Jack Viney nail swans players in the last quarter

    Seeing the demons fans respond to the the Brisbane win was something special.

    I reckon that was the best non finals moment I’ve had at the G.

    In order:

    1) the Brisbane miracle thanks mostly to Melksham. You can’t describe that feeling when you’ve resigned yourself to a certain loss, only to be singing the song 15 minutes later.

    2) beating the Pies on Kings Birthday. The atmosphere was phenomenal and we needed to exact revenge after numerous kings/queens birthday losses.

    3) the comprehensive master class we put on Sydney in round 3 in a statement win against a bogey side.

    4) The Sydney win at the SCG. Very enjoyable last quarter to attend live after it looked like we’d packed up for the home and away season. Only reaffirmed our belief that the club means business.

    5) The Dogs win in round 1. After the 2022 finals collapse, it was extremely pleasing to start 2023 with a bang and prove to the league that we were going go be a serious player again.

    Hopefully there will be many more special moments to come next month across three MCG finals.

    I have no idea. But many of them look about 12yo so maybe that’s why.

    Massive kudos to Smith for how he took that.  He went right up in my estimation after that.  He would've fitted in perfectly in the 1980's.  Win 'em and wear 'em.

    Genetics mostly. Or decreased levels of certain hormones. Keep in mind you could have two people in the same family that have differing levels of hair body hair so it is complicated.

    That, or they shave.

    Watching McVee progress.  

    Call me crazy, but there is a very good midfielder in that kid. Hope he gets a chance to spend some time in middle in the coming years as his player awareness is Pendlebury like.

    Gotta celebrate all Melbourne premierships. Rd 1 cheering the girls around the G for their Premiership was indeed a highlight of mine.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
